A Very Kobold X-Mas!
Oh so many years ago¸ a big fat human had a vision. He saw himself alone in the arctic waste¸ surrounded by reindeer and midgets. He could spend all his time making toys to win the affection of little girls and boys across the world. (This doesn't sound like it's going anywhere good¸ does it!)
He got his reindeer¸ his midgets and his trophy wife but he was still missing that special something. A list that held the name¸ address¸ favorite color¸ and naughtiness (boy this paragraph is sounding as bad as the first!) of all the boys and girls across the world. No ordinary list would do¸ no this must be a constantly updated list¸ one that could track the naughtiness of children throughout the years and would automatically remove and add children from the list as they were born and grew older. How could such an enormous undertaking be managed you ask? There were a lot of products available¸ but eventually he settled on a standard text display powered by an oracle on the back end. Thus 'The List' was created.
When first they heard about 'The List' kobolds thought that it must be a farce. Nothing could be so perfect! Never ones to let logic rule their lives¸ a number of parties went north in search of 'The List' but none ever returned...
